Using the Sign-up Form

Once you've created the new promotion, your storefront will display a mailing list sign-up form that visitors can use to sign up for your newsletter!

Once a customer enters their email address into the form, their email address will be entered into your store's Customers table and the account will be flagged to receive your email newsletter campaigns.

Note that customer must also pass a CAPTCHA test before submitting the newsletter signup form. To simplify the process for users, you can implement Google reCAPTCHA for your store instead.
